Another question. Now that I removed the "Older Items" list.  Is there an automatic way to put a "more..." link to the main news page of choice?  Or do you just have to hard code it into chunk template?

[Mark]

Would you log that in the tracker as well with the message "Change all true/false defaults to 1/0 for better reference"

Thanks!

[Pixel Stuff]

I can log both of those.  No problem.

[MadeMyDay]

Thx Mark for this improvement!

See file attached for german language.

Hint: Line 53 - Small typo in english lang file: "...alows..."

Regards,
Marc

Thanks! Can you log that in the bugtracker please?

NewsListing Version 6.4.2
STABLE RELEASE

[yentsun]

I have 6.4.2 and  get this error when changing anything in templates (or newslisting snippet calls)

Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare customsort() (previously declared in /home/prsound/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(691) : eval()'d code:145) in /home/prsound/public_html/assets/snippets/newslisting/functions.php on line 60

then I refresh the page and everything goes ok... but not in IE:(


http://www.promosound.org/afisha (see the first news item in the left got stuck to the edge for no obvious reason)


what is this error anyways?
Thanks

Try replacing

Code:

include($filevalue);

with

Code:

include_once($filevalue);

[yentsun]

Try replacing

Code:

include($filevalue);

with

Code:

include_once($filevalue);

done but... problem persists ... as I noticed - there's no include of the functions.php in the code

Code:

$files['language'] = "assets/snippets/newslisting/lang/$language.inc.php";
$files['functions'] = "assets/snippets/newslisting/functions.php";

foreach ($files as $filename => $filevalue) {
if (file_exists($filevalue) && $filename != "language") {
   include_once($filevalue);
} else if(file_exists($filevalue) &&  $filename == "language") {
include_once($filevalue);
} else if($filename == "language") {
return "Language file does not exist Please check: ".$filevalue;
  } else {
return $filevalue.$_lang['file_does_not_exist'];
}
}

- this is the only passage where "include" is met

[Mark]

Can you provide both calls?

I am unable to duplicate the symtoms you describe on any of my testing servers.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update, however, it still doesn't seem to address the problem I was describing earlier - i.e wanting HTML output in the following way:

Code:

<div class="left">
<h2><a href="SomePermalink" title="Permanent link to this article">Article 1</a></h2>
<p class="author">Category 1 | Author | Date</p>
<p>Some summary. <a href="#" title="Permanent link to this article">More</a></p>
</div>

<div class="right">
<h2><a href="SomePermalink" title="Permanent link to this article">Article 2</a></h2>
<p class="author">Category 2 | Author | Date</p>
<p>Some summary. <a href="#" title="Permanent link to this article">More</a></p>
</div>

<br style="clear: both;" />

<div class="left">
<h2><a href="SomePermalink" title="Permanent link to this article">Article 3</a></h2>
<p class="author">Category 1 | Author | Date</p>
<p>Some summary. <a href="#" title="Permanent link to this article">More</a></p>
</div>

<div class="right">
<h2><a href="SomePermalink" title="Permanent link to this article">Article 4</a></h2>
<p class="author">Category 2 | Author | Date</p>
<p>Some summary. <a href="#" title="Permanent link to this article">More</a></p>
</div>

<br style="clear: both;" />

etc.

It seems the First, Last and Alt chunks work nicely if you have a vertical column of summaries with one post per row. However, I'm trying to make a column of summaries that have two listings in each row (as in the  HTML code above). In essence, I'd like to assign a chunk for each row and assign the first summary to the left, the second summary to the right, on the next row I'd assign the third article to the left and the fourth article to the right (so on and so forth), rather than the First, Last and Alt options.

I tried the current method when i have 5 articles in the archive, it renders First, Alt, Last, Alt, Last, instead of my intended Left, Right, Left, Right, Left.

How best to go about this? Am I being clear?

Cheers

Mark

Here is an example I put together a while back:

http://modxdev.net/NewsListingFloats.html

[sottwell]

I've used NewsListing for the "main menu", with floats:

Code:

.hmnSplash{
width:185px;
float:left;
margin:0 7px 0 0;
padding:0;
border:1px solid #cacaca;
}

Code:

.hmnListing{
width:375px;
height:470px;
float:left;
margin:0 7px 7px 0;
padding:0;
border:1px solid #cacaca;
text-align:center;
}

Great Snippet.
